8/22 Garmin Data

I love my Forerunner 305. Here are the stats from yesterday's 18 miler...you can see my 7 miles at marathon-pace (10mm) or a bit faster. Yeah, I'm pokey, but those miles felt so strong. By the end of my run I was not gassed. It was excellent.

One of these days I need to mess with the heart-rate monitor. I've had my Garmin for almost 2 years and haven't once used the HRM that came with it. It's just data that I don't really have need for...I know I'm running beyond my abilities when my asthma kicks-in...nevermind heart rate. I know I'm running easy when I can talk with a friend or sing a song. But I am curious to see what my heart is doing on a run with some pace miles thrown-in. My biggest concern is the very real potential for chafing. I am not exactly small-chested and am not sure how compatible underwired, heavy-duty sports bra and HRM strap would be...

I'm interested to see how you do with the HRM. I think if I used one it would beep it's warning all the time, since I have to run 14 minute miles just to be able to talk comfortably. And forget singing. That just doesn't work when I run. :)

These are a few of my favorite things...

Gear, etc.

Huge selection, free shipping, 90 day unconditional satisfaction guarantee (I have used this more than once...running shoes that didn't work for me--they took them back no questions asked, even though they were unsellable)

Bargains galore on running gear and other outdoor wear and casual clothing
